The Calm

Wearing: Zimmermann The Calm Panelled smock top, H&M jeans, Zara clutch and heels, YSL ring.

As I've mentioned before, I am always on the look out for tops that are more than basic tee's or blouses. This cut out and backless smock is exceptionally stunning, and has enough detail to be the statement piece that allows me to wear and get away with plain black jeans. In this confused state of the weather the long sleeves but light to wear is a perfect outfit option. The modest high neck collar is evened out with the gorgeous, suggestive line of the cut out back, and if your bust needs a bra (unlike mine) then a white singlet will do the trick.

    This top is crazy amazing. I love how you've toned it down with the black trousers but not too much buy wearing it with heels - far better than a basic tee or blouse - just as you'd hoped!

    Amazing! You look gorgeous in this top, however if I was to wear something like this I would be so paranoid about flashing everyone. I think I'd have to go with the singlet option
